Wine & Spirits
Harvested from a ten-acre vineyard on the east side of the Boscarelli estate planted to prugnolo gentile, this wine aged a year and a half in French and Slavonian barrels, the wine becoming supple and subtly spiced. Scents of woodland flowers lend elegance to the red fruit flavors, lingering with notes of mushroom and sotto bosco as the wine opens. This will improve with several years in the cellar, but it would also be delicious now with spaghetti tossed in garlic and olive oil.

Notes of cherry, plum and baking spices intermingle in this suave red. Dusty tannins underscore the flavors, while vibrant acidity and a mineral element complete the picture. Drink now through 2022.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
